Demonstrates how to post a NewSubmission to the Alabama MFET (Motor Fuel Excise Tax) e-File. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

-- This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
-- See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

-- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Also see Chilkat's Online WSDL Code Generator
-- to generate code and SOAP Request and Response XML for each operation in a WSDL.
-- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-- Here is an example of an HTTP POST Request we'll be sending:

-- POST /WebServices/MFET/ HTTP/1.1
-- Content-Type: text/xml
-- SOAPAction: NewSubmission
--
-- <soapenv:Envelope
--   xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
--   xmlns:tem="http://tempuri.org/"
--   xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
--   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
--   <soapenv:Header/>
--   <soapenv:Body>
--     <tem:NewSubmission>
--       <tem:UserName>yourusername</tem:UserName>
--       <tem:Password>yourpassword</tem:Password>
--       <tem:File xsi:type="xsd:base64Binary">TRANSMISSION_XML_FILE_CONTENTS_AS_BASE64</tem:File>
--     </tem:NewSubmission>
--   </soapenv:Body>
-- </soapenv:Envelope>

-- In the above XML, the "TRANSMISSION_XML_FILE_CONTENTS_AS_BASE64" contains the base64 encoded
-- string of the XML file that contains "<Transmission> ... </Transmission>"
-- First let's load the transmission XML file and get the contents as base64.
local sbXmlFileData = chilkat.StringBuilder.new()
local success = sbXmlFileData:load_file("qa_data/xml/AL_SR_999802_test.xml", "utf-8")
if not success then
    print("Failed to load XML file.")
    return
end

sbXmlFileData:encode("base64", "utf-8")

-- Build the XMl that will be the body of the HTTP request.
local xml = chilkat.Xml.new()
xml.tag = "soapenv:Envelope"
xml:add_attribute("xmlns:soapenv", "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/")
xml:add_attribute("xmlns:tem", "http://tempuri.org/")
xml:add_attribute("xmlns:xsd", "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema")
xml:add_attribute("xmlns:xsi", "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance")
xml:update_child_content("soapenv:Header", "")
xml:update_child_content("soapenv:Body|tem:NewSubmission|tem:UserName", "yourusername")
xml:update_child_content("soapenv:Body|tem:NewSubmission|tem:Password", "yourpassword")
xml:update_attr_at("soapenv:Body|tem:NewSubmission|tem:File", true, "xsi:type", "xsd:base64Binary")
xml:update_child_content("soapenv:Body|tem:NewSubmission|tem:File", sbXmlFileData:get_as_string())

local http = chilkat.Http.new()

http:set_request_header("SoapAction", "NewSubmission")

local sbXml = chilkat.StringBuilder.new()
xml:get_xml_sb(sbXml)

local resp = chilkat.HttpResponse.new()
success = http:http_sb("POST", "https://mattest.alabama.gov/WebServices/MFET/", sbXml, "utf-8", "text/xml", resp)
if not success then
    print(http.last_error_text)
    return
end

print("Response status code = " .. resp.status_code)
print("Response body text:")
print(resp.body_str)

-- The response will look like this:

-- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
-- <s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
--     <s:Body>
--         <NewSubmissionResponse xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
--             <NewSubmissionResult i:type="a:base64Binary" xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">BASE64_RESULT</NewSubmissionResult>
--         </NewSubmissionResponse>
--     </s:Body>
-- </s:Envelope>

-- We can get the base64 result like this:
local xmlResult = chilkat.Xml.new()
xmlResult:load_xml(resp.body_str)
local sbResult = chilkat.StringBuilder.new()
sbResult:append(xmlResult:get_child_content("s:Body|NewSubmissionResponse|NewSubmissionResult"))
sbResult:decode("base64", "utf-8")
print("Decoded result:")
print(sbResult:get_as_string())

-- A sample of a decoded error response:

-- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
